We hope that you
and your family are safe and well in these strange times.

Thank you for
supporting Swinford GAA club for the last number of years and we hope that you
will continue to support the club.

All club
activities have been suspended for the past two months, with no action on our
playing fields. The club has been busy, co-ordinating meals and deliveries to
those at risk in our community. To assist in this the club has received a grant
of €2,000 from the Dept of Rural and Community Development through Mayo County
Council.

At the present
time the Government have provided a roadmap for lifting the restrictions
currently in place but it will be some time before normal club activities will
recommence. The club has ongoing expenses in regard to pitch maintenance and
insurance costs. The club also wishes to put in place a fund for future
development of our facilities.

If anyone in the community needs shopping or other deliveries a few club members are available to carry out these errands. Joe Mellett will coordinate our drivers. Please call Joe on 087 2573752 If you have your Eircode it will help our drivers. Thanks.

In consultation with GAA headquarters and Mayo GAA the club are cancelling all activities until further notice. All club games and training are cancelled with immediate effect.

There will be no 50/50 draw for the foreseeable future. All entries sold since our last draw will be valid for our next draw. If you get a chance please continue to enter our draw by getting your envelope in the businesses that are still open and online on our website swinfordgaa.ie

It has been a very difficult few days for the Swinford business community and it will in most likelihood get a lot worse over the next few weeks and months, please do what you can to support local businesses.

The club advises our members and supporters and all members of the public to follow the recommended guidelines provided by the health authorities.

If you are in quarantine or housebound and cannot look after your pet let us know as a local person has kindly offered to look after them
